When the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles acquire Mutastones from Crys-Mu, the spirit of light, they acquire the ability to enhance themselves into Super Turtles for a duration of three minutes. Meanwhile, the evil Shredder and his minions Bebop and Rocksteady stumble upon the Dark Mutastone, which transforms them into Devil Shredder, Supermutant Bebop and Supermutant Rocksteady, respectively. But the Turtles have one more trick up their shells: all four of them can combine into their ultimate form - Turtle Saint.

Where it came from
Mutant Turtles: Choujin Densetsu-hen, also known as Super Turtles Legend, was produced by Bee Media in 1996 as a two-episode original video animation series. This project was created specifically for the Japanese market to promote the then-current 'Super Turtles' toy line by Takara, which featured action figures that utilized a transformation mechanic similar to the Transformers brand. The series was designed to bridge the gap between American Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles aesthetics and the Japanese 'henshin' or transformation-hero genre, resulting in a unique visual departure from the source material.
The animation features the Turtles utilizing 'Muta-Stones' to gain armored, super-powered forms known as Saint Turtles. Directed by Hideo Takayashiki, the production leans heavily into high-energy, toy-centric storytelling, emphasizing colorful transformation sequences and specialized equipment. Because the series was intended as a localized promotional vehicle for a specific toy release, it remained an obscure entry in the broader franchise for many years, eventually gaining a cult following among animation enthusiasts interested in international TMNT variations.
